Re: Old Roy

I'll be curious to see how you like the lighter duty springs. The Heavy Duty springs are actually are actually dual rate springs. The coils in the middle give the better ride (when there's no load) they will compress closer and the rest of spring absorbs the load, THEN the corn cob repaired overload leaf springs take over...I've see the middle parts of the rear coils compress completely together...when loaded

Are you getting new control arms???

Thanks for the bump 68Gold. It looks like I missed your question back in March. We LOVE these front and rear springs with the rear shock relocate kit. The ride is so good, that even my wife, who isn't a huge fan of the truck in general, commented on how nicely it rides now. The suspension travel is very predictable and smooth. No more pounding over expansion joints in the pavement.
